The initial invasion was unexpectedly calm.
In the situation where the green flesh covering the maze of passageways was cleared away, at least, on the 9th level of the artificial maze, Reiger and the others encountered no obstacles at all.
The seemingly endless traps and contraptions in the artificial maze appeared to be damaged due to the destructive spread of the green flesh.
The brightly colored monsters were almost nowhere to be seen, apart from the occasional few man-eating flowers that emerged, only to be swiftly dismembered by the adventurers; the previously densely packed swarming monster army had completely vanished.
Thus, whether it was the fourth, fifth, and sixth troops invading from the 9th level of the underground city, or the first, second, and third troops invading from the large pit on Daedalus Street, none encountered significant obstacles at the start. They could proceed smoothly to their destination—the 10th level of the artificial maze, Knossos.
